Carrion to Your Crow Lyrics

The match is struck

Sparks start to roam

But I'm not the one

Who brought the blaze home

Chained to a rock

Of my own devising

As the sun looms

Over the jagged horizon

I can't tell you no

I'll be the carrion

To your crow

Buried in the dry husks

Of promises I've neglected

When I look in the mirror

I don't like what I see reflected

Festering fear

Self doubt and self pity

Parasites slowly

Sapping the life out of me

But I'll let it all go

And be the carrion

To your crow

Grasped by your talons

Borne into the sky

I pick out the spot

Where I'm going to die

Give myself over

To your ministrations

When my blood spills

Please take it as a holy libation

I may flinch at the blow

But I'll be the carrion

To your crow

Dropped from the heavens

Dashed on the rocks

Numb to sensation

Broken body in shock

Don't let me be a straw man

Useless and rotten

Let me be consumed

And then let me be forgotten

Let the sun bleach my bones

Assemble them for your throne

I'll no longer be alone

When I'm the carrion

To your crow
